Word comes in from Tantek Çelik that the CSS Working Group has been busy. The past few days have seen the publication of the following goodies:
- CSS 2.1 Candidate Recommendation
- CSS Print Profile Candidate Recommendation
- CSS3 Hyperlink Presentation Module first working draft
- CSS ‘reader’ Media Type first working draft
Of particular interest is the new ‘reader’ media type, built with screenreaders in mind. Those keeping tabs on the development of image replacement techniques may recall Joe Clark’s edifying article on A List Apart last year which highlighted access problems with FIR, and perhaps even his proposal of a new media type around that time. The investigation and follow-up discussion has begun to bear fruit; well done, Joe.
Congratulations to the Working Group for this milestone. (Feedback may be directed to the www-style mailing list.)
